BEER COOLlNG AND PRESERVING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,699, dated April 14, 1885.

Application filed October 11; 1884. (No model.)

To 00% whom, 216 may concern Be it known that I, FRnDnIcH BEISINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beer Cooling and Preserving Apparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

In said drawing the figure represents an apparatus indicating the operation and construction of my invention, as described in detail hereinafter.

The device is designed to keep or preserve beer or other fermenting liquor in a more perfect condition, not only retaining its strength and quality, but greatly improving the same, and, in addition thereto, keeping it cool without necessitating the use of ice, except in very hot weather.

The invention consists in the method of treating the liquor and the apparatus therefor, substantially as illustrated in the drawing, and described and claimed hereinafter.

In the drawing, A is the receiver, containing compressed carbonic-acid gas of about four hundred or five hundred pounds pressure per square inch. B is a vessel containing the coiled pipes D, and G a smaller vessel, which is in communication with the barrel of liquor, E. The coil of pipes D is connected by piping with the vessels A O, as indicated in the figure. An indicator, a, and escape-valve b are attached to the piping before it enters the vessel B.

Connected with the vessel G is a pipe, 0,

provided with any number of outlets ("i-as many as desirable-each of which may be connected with a barrel, as shown, so that one machine can supply a number of barrels with the gas. A valve, 0, controls the escape of the gas from the receptacle A, and the valve f permits the outllow of foreign matter from the receptacle C. The receptacle 0 may be dispensed with and several outlets d be connected directly with the coil D; but ordinarily I prefer to use it, as it permits a place of exit for whatever matter is forced back into the pipes from the barrel. The amount of pressure in the barrel may be increased or diminished, the pressure being shown by the in dicator.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a cooling and preserving apparatus, in combination, a receiver adapted to hold compressed carbonic-acid gas, a coil of piping connected therewith, and apipe provided with a number of outlets adapted to be connected with a barrel of beer or other liquor, said outlet-pipe being connected with the coilof piping, for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination, a receiver adapted to hold compressed carbonic-acid gas, a coil of piping connected therewith, a vessel, as C, provided with a faucet or valve, an outletpipe provided with a number of said outlets and connected with said vessel, for the purpose set forth.

In tcstimony that I claim the foregoing I 7 5 have hereunto set my hand this 2d day of October, 1884.
